General Notes: Husband - William Lyon


He lived in Greene County, Pennsylvania, for a short time, then bought a gristmill on Ten Mile creek, Washington County (later known as Lindley's Mills), which he owned and operated until 1842, when he sold out, and with his wife and children moved to Clark county, Indiana, where he remained until the fall of 1844, when, on account of sickness of nearly all his family, and death of two of his sons (Harrison and Jackson), he returned to Pennsylvania and located at Beck's Mills, three miles east of Canonsburg, Washington County, where he died.

He was born in Nottingham township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, his education, which was somewhat meager, being received at the subscription schools of the locality of his birth. After some years' residence in Greene County, he moved to Washington County, where he owned Lindley's Mill and 160 acres of land. He was the chief instrument in having Lindley's Mills postoffice established. He moved to Indiana, where he remained two years, and then, on account of sickness, returned to Pennsylvania, where he and his wife passed their last days, dying at the residence of their son, Thomas H. They were members of the Baptist Church, and Mr. Lyon was an old-school Democrat.


General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Hathaway


She died at the age of sixty-two years.
